reasons:
i) the commercial use would be an encroachment into the RS-1 area;

a plan accompanying the report) and that the long range recommendations in the
Eastgate Study called for a phasing out of the existing commercial uses in the
Davies Avenue area and are replacing with residential development;
4ii) the request would cr2#te a Spot Zone of CSL which would in effect open the
property for construction of a service station or tourist accommodation use and
a numberof other uses under our present zoning regulations;
iv) if approved the application would permit two uses on one property, that is,
residential and commercial;

v) when the building permit was issued for construction.of the garage-on this
site it was clearly indicated to the owner that no commercial, use would be allo-
wed, and there is no parking available on the site only a single driveway to the
garage;

vi) there is a creek adjacent to the garage and if the application was going to
be given further consideration it shovld be referred to the Environmental Sub-
Committee for their comments on the proposed commercial use adjacent to a creek.
